December 18, 2020
As we say goodbye to 2020, I think of all the things it has taught us – patience, how to shift quickly, nothing is a given, and no one is immune to its effects. Heck, we even learned how TP can be found in the direst of circumstances. 😊
We have been through the worst year on record but still managed to see positive moments. This summer, our community came together to try something new; we learned new ways to do what we do more safely to protect our guests; we focused on promoting different city assets to the world. We have faced unbelievable challenges this year, and it has made us stronger. I encourage you to take the time this holiday season to celebrate the small wins, enjoy the moments, cherish memories, and say goodbye to 2020. It may be cliché to say, “the best is yet to come,” but I do believe that about Jacksonville, and as we emerge from this challenging year, we will work harder than ever to make Jax into the best city it can be for our visitors. I hope you and your families have a wonderful, safe holiday, and I look forward to tackling 2021 with you.
